DJ Judi Chevrolet

Judi Chevrolet has had the pleasure of providing quality entertainment for a wide variety of audiences and events since 1980. She spent decades performing with her brother Rick Matousek as the Backstreet DJs and in the Backstreet band. She delivers a combination of professionalism, excitement and fun that makes every party a success!

Judi works her magic as she coordinates the evening’s itinerary before and during the event, utilizing her sunny smile and cheery disposition making her the universal favorite. Having been raised in a theatrical and musical family, Judi’s unique blend of talent, experience and creative passion make her your ideal entertainment choice.

Judi Chevrolet was the DJ at our wedding on 9/2/18. She as incredible. Judi has an extensive collection of music to cater to many ages of people. She was professional – engaging with the crowd, when appropriate, but not trying to be the center of attention. She was fun!! She brought percussion items to engage the group during certain songs like “Hot, Hot, Hot” which was a huge satisfier. She even got on the dance floor to teach and lead a few line dances. This was our second wedding so we wanted a certain level of maturity and experience yet fun – Judi more than exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend her.

When planning the wedding, we wanted a DJ who would play great tunes, read the crowd well, not take over the night, and incorporate our mix of cultures (my husband is from Botswana, Southern Africa). We were not opinionated on which DJ, so we selected the Best Choice DJ package and CLE Music Group matched us up with Judi. Judi was AMAZING. A joy to work with, enthusiastic about mixing music from all over the world, totally got our vibe, had great suggestions when we chatted before the event, and she just so kind and passionate about her job! We were over the moon pleased. She got our guests out onto the dance floor and kept the party going until the last minute. Thank you Judi!

We have the highest praise for our DJ “Judi,” she really made the day so very special and fun for all who attended. Thank you for getting Judi for our event and we will have her again, as she is a Rock Star!

We had the pleasure of working with Judi Chevrolet for Best Choice DJ services at our recent wedding. We both found working with Judy incredibly easy. Judi worked with us on our timeframe, kept things very laid back, accommodated our last minute requests, greeted guests warmly, engaged the group and met all of our expectations. I would highly recommend her services.

Judi of Backstreet DJs was the perfect choice for our holiday party. I had many people ask how we found her, so kudos to The Cleveland Music Group website. We would definitely use Judi again and I would love to have the budget to have the Backstreet Trio. Our group crossed an age group of 25-75 and Judi was able to actively engage the entire group. She announced our activities and speakers and drew numbers for our door prizes. Very professional, a smooth as silk voice . . . We had a fun and entertaining evening and Judi was a big part of making it all come together. Thank You again, Judi!

I am so pleased that I hired DJs. Judi and Rick were talented professionals who made the difference. Even though very reasonably priced, people came up to me to compliment me “putting money” into the music. The music made a difference. My 83 year old aunt even danced with all of us. What more can I say?? I wish I could have the evening repeated again and again. Judi and Rick played the music I requested and then they added to the play list to make the evening fun.

Judi was amazing! She supported us throughout the entire process. She answered even the most basic questions for us about the wedding reception process and order of events with grace and helpfulness. Judi was a fantastic MC and kept the evening running smoothly. We had a very international feel at our reception and asked Judi and her brother Rick to manage a very diverse playlist which they did beautifully! We could not have asked for a better wedding night and would recommend them for all events and weddings.

We could not have been more pleased with Backstreet Entertainment. Rick set such an elegant tone playing jazz on the baby grand piano during cocktails. Once Judi took over with introductions and toasts during dinner, the evening just continued to soar. With a crowd ranging from 20-somethings to 80+, Judi and Rick kept us going until midnight. Plus, they are just lovely people with whom we really enjoyed sharing our special day. We would highly recommend them to family and friends without hesitation.

The Backstreet DJs have been playing my family weddings for many years. Every wedding, they have done an outstanding job. I love all the music that is played and they can keep a crowd dancing. Thank You Backstreet DJs for making my wedding day extra special and perfect.

Hats off to you both! What an incredible party. Never, not one dull moment in the entire evening. The phone calls keep coming about the party and everyone wants to know how I found you. ‘Extremely, extremely, lucky,’ I said. I could plan it, set it up, and decorate it, but could not have pulled off the fun that you provided for us. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts!

Excellent doesn’t do them justice. Judi and Rick were awesome. Everyone kept saying how great they were. They were awesome and I’m so so so glad they were there. From the first email to the last song, Backstreet and Jerry Bruno Productions were professional, helpful, efficient and flat out fabulous. I wouldn’t change anything about the entire process.

Rick and Judy were tremendous. Their choice of music had everybody, including my boss who I have never seen on a dance floor, dancing. People were on the dance floor until the very end.

We had so many compliments on our DJ after the wedding from family and friends and have given out your name and info to many as well. I would recommend the Backstreet DJ’s to anyone who is looking for mature, professional DJ’s who are willing to make your event as special and wonderful as they can!
